wht_scorpion Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 I think he met ringo that's why he didn't show up to ride with you guy yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWing'R Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 If he had a rear tire BLOW out then he was running unsafe tires. Meaning that there was prob cords showing of close to it, never heard of a bike tire blowing out. Even if you pick up a screw, or nail it will not pop just leak out slowly. Hell a guy I work with pick up a piece of green rod steel in his back tire on the commute into work and his tire held, till after work when the air leaked out. Good thing this guy had gear on atleast he was smart about that.I think that's a pretty broad assumption, are you a tire expert? Just sayin.Pretty sure there are circumstances that could lead to a blow out other than bad tires, but then again, this is an assumption on my part.

Ringo Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 I think he met ringo that's why he didn't show up to ride with you guy yesterday. I didnt do that ride yesterday because i was busy. I came out to the ringo ride... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 He did make the Ringo ride. I will say he's much less of a douche in person and rides better than I would've guessed. In time he will possibly turn out to be a decent contributing member here once he learns the ropes and controls the "inner ringo". I think there is hope for him. Hell look at Porter he's still here and most like him now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) With my freeway flat, I saw the crap come off the back of a flatbed truck. I thought I dodged everything, but a large nail stuck in the tire. I only made it a few miles before feeling a wobble, and a few seconds till it was totally flat and barely able to move, let alone ride. Since I had a clue what it was, I pointed at the berm of the freeway and hammered the front brake to lift the rear tire. At a slow speed, I tried to let off the brake, and the back end wobbled hard, enough to make me think I'd fall. I just hit the front brake again, even harder. There was a highway patrol behind me, he saw it happen and he took me home.This was old tube tires. They go flat somewhat differently.edit: my Dad was standing in a parking lot when a cruiser blew out a front tire with a bang, out on the road.Yes, the bike went down quickly, with the rider injured. No clue why the tire would blow out that way.edit part deux: if a punctured tire throws the nail out, the tire blows out in a few seconds. But no bang exploding tire.

tyler524 Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Too high of tire pressure plus lots of tire heat could be a possible reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ringo Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Im sure there are things that could make it explode. Such as a large puncture? Big jagged piece of metal maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 No im not a expert. But have riding for almost 20 years and have seen many people pick up nail and what not in tires have never seen one that was in good shape blow out. I have seen people get a flat and crash due to the wobble lit recon talked about. Just wear your gear and keep your tires in good shape.

speedytriple Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 You and your buddies make it a habbit of hitting big jagged metal pieces? I try to ride within my limit so I can scan the roads for things like that! But I never found a 1.85$ either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ringo Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 No i dont hit them and i scan for them, but noone knows this rider and i was saying what "could" have happened.
